the squeegees - Stuff Parents Need

Thanks to The SqueeGees for partnering with Stuff Parents Need to bring you this post (and this AWESOME sneak peek!!!).

What a fun treat I have for you, friends. If you’ve got a case of the Mondays, let’s fix it right now with some really fun new music from the group The SqueeGees. Tomorrow their new album, Veggie Soup, releases.

But why wait until tomorrow to check it out, when Stuff Parents Need readers can listen to the entire album (yes, I’m serious!) RIGHT NOW!!!

This is a terrific album to play as you work on dinner tonight with the kids (need a recipe idea? I’m thinking veggie soup would be appropriate!).

I don’t know about your kids, but mine REALLY love it when a fun song has a video to go with it. The SqueeGees have delivered, and already have a video for the track “I Can I Can” available. Check it out; it’s really interactive!

If you aren’t familiar with The SqueeGees, let me take a moment to introduce you! This family-friendly band is based in LA and consists of several awesome songwriters and musicians who are passionate about working with children and creating musical adventures. The style of The Squeegees is toe-tapping and melodic. It’s quite hard not to start singing along after just a handful of bars!

If you’d like to download a copy of the album so you can share it with your kids any time, any place, you can find it now through Itunes for $9.99. OR…for just a penny more, you can get both the download AND a hard copy in CD format! What a phenomenal deal!!!

Win it!: You all are lucky winners in that you get to enjoy hearing The SqueeGees album via SoundCloud right now, but one of you will also win a physical copy of the CD, which will be great for trips in the car.

I’ve got SUCH a fun stocking stuffer for you today! If your child doesn’t have his or her own music collection, it is seriously time to get that started. And if they do, it’s time to add to it!!!

Meet the Squeegees is a wonderful cd that is available exclusively at Target! Many children’s cds don’t get such mass exposure and have to make their sales through smaller venues, so that should tell you something about how good this cd is!

I’m listening to it right now, and Darah’s at daycare for the moment. Are you judging me for listening to kids music while my kid isn’t around? If so, it’s just because you haven’t had the pleasure of hearing this cute cd! It is SOOOO singable, and the topics the songs cover will inspire some great conversations with your tot! I love the extensive listing of yummy fruits in “apples, oranges and peaches.” It makes me want to go find a kumquat for Darah to try! And “the elements” does such a great job of describing all the great things that wind, fire, earth and water do! Love it!

The mood of this cd is hip, cute, but not obnoxious. It is easy on the ears, I promise! I’m totally committing to memorizing these songs so that I can sing them to Darah, because she’ll be learning great things while I sing them to her!

Buy it!: This cd has 14 educational and fun songs, and is perfect for kids 0-7. As I mentioned, this is a cd that you can find at your local Target and it is just $7.99. That’s a great buy, folks!

Win it!: Now is your chance to snag this great cd for your little one! The contest will run until November 19th at 11:59pm EST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the winning notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.

Mandatory entry: Tell me the last piece of music you bought (could be a cd or an mp3!). My answer: Ben Folds Accapella album he did with college students. And that was almost a year ago, so clearly I need to spend a little time over at Itunes getting up to speed!
